Helldivers 2 simply obtained two new heavy weapons for democratic troopers to carry to the continuing battle towards the Automatons, spurred by a brand new Main Order to liberate Troost and head off the bots’ “Reclamation.” The LAS-99 Quasar Cannon and MG-206 Heavy Machine Gun at the moment are out there “for quick battlefield distribution,” as developer Arrowhead Sport Studios introduced through Twitter as we speak.Â

Each weapons are heavy weapons out there as stratagems, and so they appear to be unlocked at a reasonably low stage (I am solely stage 18 and I can get them each, so I would guess 10 or 15 for them). It looks as if central command obtained some wires crossed on the names, as a result of in-game the Heavy Machine Gun known as the MG-206 whereas the announcement tweet specifies MG-101. It is described as “a really highly effective however difficult-to-wield machine gun with intense recoil.” It prices 6,000 requisition slips to unlock and has a hefty 480-second cooldown and limitless makes use of.Â
The Quasar Cannon, in the meantime, seems to be like an vitality rocket launcher with some windup. “Costs as much as fireplace a strong, explosive vitality burst,” the outline reads. “Has a protracted cooldown after firing.” This weapon prices 7,500 slips to unlock and likewise has a 480-second cooldown with limitless makes use of. In an in-game video, it is proven in motion towards an Automaton Hulk, and it would not really kill the factor within the brief clip, however I am crossing my fingers that it is doable to one-shot a hulk if you happen to hit a weak spot dead-on.Â
Our Helldivers 2 greatest weapons checklist might have an replace, then. It seems to be like Helldivers 2 gamers are due for extra stratagems considerably quickly, too. Stories are nonetheless unconfirmed, however a diver claiming to be Sport Grasp Joel himself just lately joined a participant’s recreation – conveniently captured on video – dropped an unreleased car, after which disappeared into the evening, complicated however thrilling onlookers.Â
Democracy’s best weapon could quickly be upon us: Arrowhead says gatling weapons “could” be coming however would “require some actual cool mechanics.”
